Anheuser / InBev: Cooler Heads Prevail

I do not fear foreign investment in the U.S., including purchase of "American" companies or assets. BUD is a multi-national player that was too comfortable with itself. M&A is part of capitalism. If it doesn't work, it'll morph into something else. Chrysler was pathetic to begin with and Daimler couldn't save it. Remember when the Japanese were flush with cash and bought Pebble Beach GC and Rockefeller Center? Then *they* needed the cash and so sold those assets back to others (now American).

InBev can't be foolish enough to mess with the American icon that is the Budweiser brand and its marketing. They will streamline costs and bring BUD to more corners of the world. This merger or change in ownership is simply part of the creative destruction that is capitalism.
